I’m using an existing fulfilment supplier and want to switch

So you’ve already dipped your toe in outsourcing, but it’s not working out as you expected? Maybe your current fulfilment company promised the earth and delivered a soggy cardboard box. Maybe they were fine when you were smaller, but now they can’t keep up. Or maybe they’re just not giving you the service you deserve.

Either way – you’re here because you know something’s not right. And good on you for doing something about it. Too many people just put up with bad service.

The red flags that tell you it’s time to move on

  • Hidden fees creeping onto your invoices – you didn’t sign up for that.
  • Slow delivery times that make you look bad to your customers.
  • Stock going “missing” or inaccurate reporting that means you’ve no idea what’s actually in the warehouse.
  • Rubbish communication – unanswered emails, no accountability, nobody taking ownership.
  • Zero flexibility – their way or the highway.

If any of these sound familiar, trust me: it’s not you. It’s them.

Kate’s straight-talking advice on switching

  • Don’t let loyalty to a poor supplier drag you down. You’re not married. Move on.
  • Ask the awkward questions before you switch – about fees, minimums, service levels. If they dodge, that’s your answer.
  • Run test orders with your new supplier before you fully commit. If they can’t handle a handful properly, don’t trust them with thousands.
  • Remember – your fulfilment partner is an extension of your brand. If they mess up, it’s yourreputation on the line.
